Plattsburgh man injured in motorcycle crash in Hounsfield

SACKETS HARBOR — A Plattsburgh man was injured Sunday afternoon in a motorcycle accident on Route 3 in the town of Hounsfield after his bike hit a road sign.

Michael Madison, 44, was driving north on Route 3, in front of the Nice N Easy convenience store just outside of Sackets Harbor, shortly before 1 p.m. when his motorcycle drifted off the road and struck the sign, a Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy said.

He was taken by ambulance to Adams Center before he was airlifted by helicopter to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, where he was treated and released.

It was unclear Sunday night what caused the crash.
